 Join the Empowered Beyond the Program Membership!

We empower educators to move beyond the program to confidently serve all dyslexic students in reading, writing, and beyond.

We empower you to connect the research to practice and scaffold instruction to build confident learners. 

Do you ever find yourself saying, "I've been trained in dyslexia, but my students need more"?

Each student with dyslexia has a unique learning profile. In the Empowered Beyond the Program Membership, you'll get the answers to these questions:

✅ How do we ensure we address the unique needs of our students?

✅ What can I do to implement appropriate scaffolds? Differentiation? Spiraling?

✅ Where do I begin?

✅ How can I be diagnostic and prescriptive?

✅ How can I bring the current research into my practice?

If you want to up your dyslexia therapy and intervention instruction, this membership is for you!
